Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (2)

Jingyi walked out of Xinglu, and her pace accelerated. Qiu Wei followed behind her, and she had to trot to keep up with her.

Be cautious and stay far away. Jingyi was anxious, so she took a shortcut to Zhishen. This time you have to pass through the courtyard wall of the plum garden, where the third lady lives. There was laughter from inside, and she could tell that it was the phoenix of the seventh sister and the eighth sister, and there was a sound of "bang" and "bang" in the yard from time to time, probably practicing tennis. Zhiluan became obsessed with playing tennis in Tianjin, and said that he wanted to teach her, and she was on the rise these days, and she still had to practice in such a hot weather...... Jingyi walked to the gate of the courtyard and said hello to the two sisters, who were playing ball on the lawn of the courtyard. Jingyi saw that the third wife also changed into sportswear and sat on the side to watch the two daughters play, so she approached and asked the third wife to say goodbye.

The third lady looked Jingyi up and down, and asked her where she was going with a smile.

Jingyi said that she was going to go to Brother Jiu to borrow books and return them.

The third lady smiled, turned her face to Zhiluan Zhifeng and said, "You two just care about having fun and look at Miss Ten." 湎"

Zhifeng pouted with his tennis racket and didn't say anything; Zhiluan said: "Mom, you just take the tenth sister to squeeze us, where can we compare with the tenth sister?" The tenth sister studied one of the two of us, this is what my father said. ”

The third lady smiled and said, "You have to talk about it, except for studying, you have something else that can compare to Miss Ten?" She smiled softly.

Zhiluan and Zhifeng also smiled lightly.

The third wife said: "Let's go, when I have time, I will come to Sanniang to sit here, it is also good to play ball with my sisters, girls also have to exercise, and now it is fashionable to be healthy and beautiful." You see, I'm going to be fashionable. "Mrs. Xu has lived in Tianjin for more than a month, and she has been affected a little, and her accent is a bit Tianjin.

Jingyi listened to the third wife's words, and she couldn't help laughing. Last time, the third wife lived in Shanghai for a long time, and when she returned to Beiping, she was still Yi Yanong, Du's mother listened to it and was useless, and said a word to her, she was still sued in front of her father because of this trivial matter, and was reprimanded by her father for grinding her teeth, disrespecting Du's mother, and begging for shame......

When the third wife saw Jing Yi smiling, she didn't know what Jing Yi was smiling at, she was in a good mood, so she didn't think about him.

Jing Yi retired and took Qiu Wei out of the yard, still happy. Qiu Wei felt strange and asked, Jing Yi didn't say anything, but she laughed even harder, and when she arrived at Zhishen, she saw Zhishen crooked in his study, and before she got up from a nap, she pulled him up and told him all the time.

Zhishen woke up and felt that his mouth was dry, and he happened to eat the fruit brought by Jingyi. The wind from the electric fan on the roof was blowing, Jingyi smiled and talked to him, and he unconsciously swallowed half a box of cool fruits.

"Brother Jiu, you can't eat dinner." Jingyi found out that Shen had already eaten three Huairou peaches in a row, not to mention peeling a large pile of lychee skins.

Zhishen smiled, took a wet towel to wipe his hands, and said, "Eat." You can eat with me, and I'll let the kitchenette bring us jjajangmyeon later." I'm going to eat jajangmyeon. ”

Jingyi shook her head and said, "Mom told me to go back quickly." Why don't you go to your mother's place to eat? If he eats at home, he must go to his mother's place to eat, otherwise he will go out directly, and after dinner, he will find a place to have fun, and he will not come home until the second half of the night.

"No, my mother said that she was tired of panic in the past few days, and the weather was hot, so she let each room fire on its own." Zhi Shen looked at Jingyi and asked, "You don't know?" ”

Jingyi peeled a lychee.

Zhishen looked at her for a while and said, "You haven't had the heart to eat for the past two days." ”

"Brother!"

Zhishen sighed, frowned, looked at Qiu Wei who was fanning, and waved her hand to let her go down.

Jingyi peeled off the shell of the lychee, and did not eat it, but crushed it finely, and crushed the lychee shell little by little. Her hands are white, almost as white as the transparent lychee flesh.

"I knew that I didn't open that mouth at the beginning, but I asked Meng Yuan to take care of you. Just thinking that you are also in St. John, and he is also in St. John, with a little care, it is always good. Zhi Shen said.

Jing Yi glanced at him quickly.

"Father has already handed you the application form for Xiehe, and I will transfer to the school immediately." Zhi Shen said.

"Don't even ask me if I'd like to." Jingyi was not surprised by her father's arbitrariness.

"You will ask, but if you want to or not, the result is like that." Zhi Shen said.

"It's like you have to go to the company whether you want to or not, right?" Jingyi asked.

Zhishen smiled and said, "In the eyes of others, this is still a blessing." It was my turn to train me to run this family business. He wiped his nose. The Cheng family only has the third brother and his two men. As the eldest son, Zhichen was duty-bound, but he chose another path...... My father has been tyrannical for most of his life, and there is nothing he can do with the third child who is most similar to him. Besides, Zhichen was not at home at all, and his father couldn't catch it if he wanted to, so he had to retreat to the second.

He is only in his twenties, of course, he can play and play, and it is over to choose a relaxed major and a diploma in the university hall. Most young masters of his age are nothing more than that. But their Cheng family is different after all. Other people's families can be allowed by other people's fathers, but in the Cheng family, don't even think about it.

No matter how unwilling he is, he can't stop his father's coercion, his mother's pleading-especially his mother, who raised five daughters and two sons, and the daughters married and died, and Zhichen was far away in Nanjing, only he was by his side.

What's more, when he is thinking about it in his spare time, he doesn't know who will be able to help his father in the future.

Jingyi is a girl, and she will marry sooner or later, and she doesn't have this mind. He's different, to the Cheng family. He is responsible.

"I'm in the company, although I can't help much, I can see that my father has my father's difficulties." Zhi Shen said.

Jingyi only said that her ninth brother was still in and out of the company to pass the time, and she didn't want him to say this, so she didn't say anything for a while.

"But Xiao Shi," Zhishen reached over and nodded the tip of Jingyi's nose and smiled. He and Xiao Shi have been closest since childhood, and Xiao Shi has always consulted with him about anything. "In front of my father and mother, I will try my best to help you if I can help you."

"Brother Jiu, I'm ......," Jingyi whispered, "If it really doesn't work, I'm going to leave this house." ”

Cheng Zhishen hugged his arms, leaned on the yarn cushion behind him, looked at Jingyi, and was silent for a long time.

He thought to himself that Jingyi was made of it.

She always knows when she will come out with a fierce energy, which is terrifying.

"You can't fool me, I've seen a few of them run away from marriage and leave home." Zhishen joked, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Although there are a few people who have returned to their hometowns and are tolerated by their families, many of them are still embarrassed and can't go on and come home." I'm not scaring you, but on that day, it's not up to you to pick and choose. ”

"Brother Jiu, when will I be given the opportunity to choose this family business?" Jingyi asked.

Zhishen smiled and said, "That's what you said. ”

"Besides, I am a concubine's daughter, and marrying the son of the Tao family is already the best choice, isn't it?" Jingyi was a little excited.

"What nonsense." Zhishen was suddenly unhappy, "What kind of concubine, who in this family treats you as a concubine?" Although the father is strict, the daughter loves you the most, don't you know? ”

Jing Yi was silent.

It hurts her the most...... She didn't want him to arrange her life in the way he thought was best and most suitable to love her, all she wanted was the happiness she believed in.

"The third brother will come back in a while. I'll write to the third brother to see if he can help. It's okay to beat the side drum at your father's. It's just that Meng Yuan and you must have the same plan. He is so enthusiastic about revolution and doctrine that I am afraid that he has no intention of getting married at the moment. In my opinion, if you expect to be able to convince your father, Meng Yuan must make a guarantee to your father. I'm not afraid to tell you, just because of this, I'm not sure whether I should help you or not. If you want to withdraw from the marriage, of course I support it - if you want to marry Meng Yuan, this matter must be considered in the long run. He is bent on revolution, what does he rely on to support his family? Rhetoricalism? "Careful and calm analysis. That's what he's been thinking about all this time.

"Yes...... That's his ideal. Jingyi hesitated. She undoubtedly admired Dai Mengyuan's talent, passion and courage. But she also worries about his safety.

"Little Ten, if he values you, he knows what to do. Of course you don't have to rely on him, but he's a man. Zhishen said, looking at the time, "You came to me, you must have found a way to go out to meet him, right?" ”

Jing Yi nodded and told Zhi Shen that Dai Mengyuan had already set a time.

When Zhi Shen heard this, he immediately frowned. wanted to say something, but saw Jingyi's eyes looking at him with anticipation. He thought about it, since it was early in the morning, he reached out to help Jingyi...... He said, "Tomorrow, after dawn, when you wait for your aunt to rest, you will go out through the back door, and Cheng Xi will drive the car and wait for you in the back alley." The key to the back door, I still asked Sibao to find a way to get it out. You have to go and come back quickly. Zhi cautiously explained.

"Brother Jiu!" Jingyi surprises.

"Hey!" Zhi Shen stopped Jing Yi's overly happy move, he was very serious, "I don't agree with your elopement. If you're like that, don't think I'll recognize you as a sister again. ”

"Brother Nine......" Jingyi still stretched out her arm to hold Zhi Shen, "I know that Brother Nine is the best." ”

"Don't let go yet, big girl's, what does this look like." Zhi Shen broke her arms and straightened his face.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, you really look like the third brother now." "The two elder brothers look similar, but the age difference is a little bigger, and Zhishen looks like the third brother who is ten years younger.

She felt as if she hadn't seen the third brother for years.

"Nonsense, where am I as old as him." Cautious glare.
